Knut Erik Jensen - Public Piano Concert

Sol-land lodge, in conjunction with the Kennewick Lutheran Fine Arts Guild, will present Norwegian pianist Knut Erik Jensen in concert.  This concert, open to the public, will be Friday, Sept. 25 at 7 PM at Kennewick First Lutheran Church (at 395 and Yelm in Kennewick).  There will be a free will offering and CDs available for purchase.  A reception will follow the concert.

The composers that will be presented are Geirr Tveitt, Harald Sæverud, David Monrad Johansen and of course Edvard Grieg. This is truly a culturally unique project because not only are these composers born and raised in Norway. But they also played an active part in bringing forth and preserving the traditional Norwegian folk music by unifying the past traditions and the present classical music. The pianist, Knut Erik Jensen, was also born and raised in Norway, and got all his musical education there.
